We've almost become immune to the huge dollar amounts that collectible cars earn for charity at Barrett-Jackson (http://autoblog.com/tag/barrett-jackson/). To wit, $300,000 for the first production 2015 Ford Mustang (http://autoblog.com/ford/mustang/) initially didn't seem like very much money. In reality, though, it's probably about 10 times the actual asking price for the car, and we're pleased to report that 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
According to Ford (http://autoblog.com/ford/), the car's winning bidder will get to "choose a fastback with manual or automatic transmission, and any interior, exterior and stripe color combination offered by Ford on the all-new Mustang." Power will come from a slightly revised version of the well-known 5.0-liter V8 engine that will produce "more than 420hp and 396 pound-feet of torque."
We snapped live images of the 2015 Mustang prototype that Ford had on display here at Barrett-Jackson, and you can check them out above. The official auction description, along with a video of the auction as it happened live, is below (http://www.mnfords.com/2014/01/18/barrett-jackson-2014-first-production-2015-ford-mustang-video/#continued).Continue reading Barrett-Jackson 2014: First production 2015 Ford Mustang earns $300k for JDRF [w/video] (http://www.autoblog.com/2014/01/18/barrett-jackson-2014-first-production-2015-ford-mustang-video/)
